Families in Blanca Navidad
The settlement of Blanca Navidad, on the outskirts of Nuevo Laredo, just
south of the U.S. border. Blanca Navidad was created by workers looking
for land to build a place to live, and is part of a network of radical communities
on the border and throughout Mexico, sympathetic with the Zapatista movement.
Most residents work in the maquiladoras. Community leader Blanca Enriquez
works in the community garden.
